35mm
I have a Pentax ME don't know the year.
The aperture metering system was not working, usually a sign of a dead battery so I changed the battery and it still doesn't work.
Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong with it and if you do how much might it cost to fix it?
And/or, will it still take pictures with that not working?

Hi there,
While I am not a Pentax camera repairman, I do have a few resources for you.
In my experience, general camera adjustment, dust removal, general internal camera body cleaning and light seal replacement service runs in the neighborhood of $50 to $100.
There is a camera repair place place that I have been told claims Pentax cameras are a specialty:
Garry's Camera Repair:

... Once you get there:
Click repair list >> Pentax >> Manual Focus
There you will find a listing for the Pentax ME Super.
They list $50.00 plus shipping as a service fee.
This is pretty reasonable considering the work they perform for your Pentax ME super camera includes:
"Eliminating the original problem or defect, complete overhaul maintenance (shutter lubrication, shutter speed adjustment, meter calibration, light seal replacement)."
Note: Meter failure on the Pentax cameras is a fairly normal happening. Nothing they won't be able to deal with.
Just in case that doesn't suit you for some reason, you can head on over to:
The Classic Camera Repair Forum:

... and talk to a number of enthusiasts who may carry and use your exact Pentax ME camera.
I hope this will yield what you need to resume the Pentax ME adventure. :-)
